I think you’re missing the point of what the stock and futures markets have become since Trump came back. They’re as much making money on the way down as they are making on the way up. Essentially everything has become glorified betting and NFT markets.
The real economy underneath now matters only for very large fundamental moves. This is just pump ‘n dump.
